I’ve at last got round to recording the first tracks for the experimental album I started back in March. I now have a SoundCloud page where I’ll be releasing the whole album over the next few months.

Morgan Ryan Session
I’m very proud to have been asked to add some guitar to this track for Brighton based singer songwriter Morgan Ryan. It’s a beautiful song about the situation at the US-Mexico border.

DADDAD Project
I’ve decided to record a number of tracks for a new project, DADDAD, which I’ve been experimenting with for a couple of months now.

Stay tuned for more updates on release dates etc.

I decided I needed a new bottleneck recently, so decided to make one from an old wine bottle. There’s something about the feel and weight of wine bottle necks that I love.
